So, guys, Derek, more place from R8s.com.

Today we're going to be talking about carnitine, again, androgen receptor density, if you recall in the video called,

This is what determines how much muscle you grow and your testosterone levels mean nothing, exclamation mark, question mark.

I talk about how the data implies that androgen receptor content is what will ultimately dictate muscle

growth in an individual as opposed to arbitrary serum concentration. So of androgens.

So that isn't to say that your actual anabolic levels, like let's just say if it's coming

from anabolic steroid administered exogenous

or your endogenous androgens you actually produce, the levels matter, but only to the extent

of however much, you know, androgen receptors they can actually bind to and transcribe their

effects and tissues, and then obviously off-target interaction like glucocorticoid receptor antagonism,

et cetera. But at the end of the day,

when it comes to direct protein expression in the myonuclei, you are going to be looking at

androgen receptor content and how many androgen receptors do you have to bind to and then

transcribe that message and kind of induce the RNA transcription at the receptor site.

So for the carnitine, this is one of the few things we know of over the counter that is shown

to upregulate AR content fairly significantly to an extent where when you use it in an off

season at a high enough dose, you actually notice you grow leaner. And when you use

it in a maintenance phase or when you're cutting, you will notice you will stay leaner or get

leaner easier. And this is one of the ways by which it works. And it also helps to enhance how

much you get out of your anabolic or your natural testosterone level. So whatever your normal amount of production is or whatever you're administering, it gets more

bang for your buck with whatever that amount is because there's an increased amount of

AR content for it to interact with.
